The gamer tag isn’t changing

RobertRazzouk · Dec 30, 2020

This is the first time I changed my gamertag,

but for some reason it still is on the same one

it is supposed to change to Jus*A**ay*r

And dont worry that word is not a swear one, I just did not want to give my privacy away

Hi there

Sometimes it may take a little while to update when viewing your profile or in game, so maybe wait a little while or try a reset or hard reset of your console. Should be nothing to worry about and will appear with your new changed gamertag soon enough.

Hello There,

IK IR Y IP T When An Xbox Live Member Chooses An Xbox Gamer-Tag, They Have The Full Rights To Keep That Gamer-Tag Even Know If They Have Been Inactive For Years Along With No Gamer-Score & No Gold Membership, You Will Not Be Able To Request
For The Gamer-tag To Be Forced Changed. The Owner Of The Gamer-Tag Must Change It Himself Or When a forced gamertag change is imposed due to the Gamer-Tag Violated The Code Of Conduct In Any Sort Of Way, If the gamertag you enter is already taken, you are
prompted to try another gamertag.
Note Gamer-Tags are also tied to services like zune or games for windows live. If a gt doesn't exist on xbox, it might be in use on one of those services. If you try sending the Gamer-tag you want a friend
request and it says it’s not a valid Gamer-tag that just means it isn’t used on xbox live, but it could be used for zune or gfwl.

One thing to remember is that spaces and capitalization don’t make your Gamer-Tag unique. For example, “”, “PR1NCEDARKNESS”, and “” They Are All The Same Gamer-Tags.

Hi Carter, I noticed that you marked the answer as not helpful. Remember that this is a public forum and that those of us who participate in it are common players, I'm not part of Microsoft support nor can I enter the system, the only thing I can do is provide you with information that might help you.

Microsoft does not specify why a gamertag cannot be used.

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to help you, just remember that you're not talking to a Microsoft employee.

Unfortunately it is not possible to circumvent any system restriction, Microsoft support cannot do it either, you could only try to use an alternative to the gamertag, for example, replace the character "1" by "l" or add an "x" at the end.

Best regards

That's really strange ! I thought it might be cause the name could be a way to bypass 'cloaca' - but 'cloaca' is allowed ! ^^
